• Listen to these wounds of pain put in the form of questions to me by a young woman who had had two abortions: "I wonder about the spirits of those I had aborted, if they were there, if they were hurt? I was under three months each time, but a mother feels life before she feels movement." "I wonder if they are lost and alone?" "I wonder if they will ever have a body?" "I wonder if I will ever have a chance again to bring those spirits back as mine?" Alas, brothers and sisters, "wickedness never was happiness" (Alma 41:10).

• I remember so clearly, in the early days, if I had to do a piece of press, they'd phone for me and say, 'Oh, we're going to bring hair and makeup, it'll take about five hours.' And I said, 'Well, if it was Ian McEwan, would it take about five hours? Would there be hair and makeup? Cause if that's not the case, then don't bring the hair and makeup.' So, it's fascinating that they just assume: it's a young woman, she must want to be photographed for five hours. She must have nothing better to do than delight in trying on all your shoes. But it's not the case.

• El sexo por placer, por diversión o incluso para construir relaciones está completamente ausente de nuestra conversación nacional. Sin embargo, eliminar el placer de la sexualidad es una forma segura de garantizar no que las jóvenes no tengan relaciones sexuales, sino que las tengan sin placer.

• So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that's going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!

• La maternidad me ha aportado muchas alegrías y conocimientos, pero la nueva perspectiva que me dio sobre el papel que había desempeñado inadvertidamente en la vida de las jóvenes durante las dos décadas que pasé en la industria del modelaje fue francamente aleccionadora.

• I think that the path that I took was normal in the American society where young women and men are not trained as to how to make the transition from being a girl to being a woman, from being a boy to being a man. And so I think that most young people in America live by trial and error, and not by parental instruction, community guidance.

• The world is a different place in this new century, [...]. And we are a different people. My visions still come but no one listens any longer to what they tell us, what they warn us. I knew even as a young woman that destruction bred on the horizon. [...] War touches everyone, and windigos spring from the earth.

• A young woman is dead. I don’t care. You probably don’t care. The police don’t care. The papers don’t care. The punks for the most part don’t care. The only people that care are (I suppose) her parents and (I’m almost certain) the boy accused of murdering her.

• The Company of Wolves is about how society teaches young women to look at themselves, and what to be afraid of. It's about a girl learning that the world of sensuality and the unknown is not to be feared, that it's worth getting your teeth into.

• It's important for people to believe in themselves. It's important for young girls to have the opportunity to excel and promote themselves, and learn how to communicate and that they can be individuals, yet accomplish so much. The Girl Scouts and other organizations like them make that so important, so vital. Girls are given the opportunity very early in life to give them that confidence in themselves. It's crucial for organizations to support young women.

• Some models are naturally very thin, but if they aren't naturally like that, then what these girls do to their health to fit in ... To be a size zero or a two when you're tall is incredible to me. It would be nice if models were allowed to be a more healthy weight - for the models, and for the young women who look up to them. We were athletic and healthy, and we looked like women.

• Sigue habiendo mucha música pop misógina, y creo que escuchar algo tan explícitamente feminista y tan enfadado -cuando seguimos creciendo en una cultura en la que se supone que las niñas y las mujeres no deben enfadarse- es una auténtica revelación para las jóvenes.

• Las mujeres jóvenes no suelen recibir el estímulo que necesitan de modelos como profesores y padres. Y hay que animarlas: los estudios demuestran que las mujeres tienen las mismas probabilidades que los hombres de ganar cuando se presentan.

• First of all, I would tell any young woman who's interested in politics to get in touch with herself first and really, really determine if this is what she wants to do - and not do it just because it may be the thing at the moment. What do you care about? What is it that moves you? What would you like to change? What would you do if you were in this situation?

• There is a condition into which many young women fall. They attach themselves to violent men. They forgive any mistreatment. They think it love; it isn't. What they really want is to be punished for their sins, real and imagined - or for someone else's

• Una vez más, los ciudadanos decentes podrán entrar en esta casa de culto, arrodillarse ante un hombre casi desnudo que cuelga de un aparato de madera por una serie de horripilantes piercings, y participar en sus extrañas prácticas de rituales de bebida de sangre y canibalismo sin ser asaltados por imágenes gráficas de atractivas jóvenes con los pechos desnudos.

• No creo que estas mujeres sean estúpidas. Creo que están vendiendo una personalidad que es muy comercializable: ¿No sería divertido si todas fuéramos guapas y no nos importara nada? Pero crear un icono cultural a partir de alguien que dice: Soy estúpida, ¿no es bonito? me dan ganas de lanzarles dagas. Quiero decirles: "Mi abuela no luchó por lo que luchó, y mi madre no luchó por lo que luchó, así que podéis empezar a decirles a las mujeres que es divertido ser estúpidas". ¿Decirles eso a las mujeres jóvenes, a las niñas, a mi hija? No está bien.

• I wanted young women to know that I was very lucky that I worked for people who literally let me be me. If I had ever been anyone other than me, I would have come off as a fake, a phony, a fraud, and never would have gotten where I ultimately ended up. You can be yourself and be in politics, and they should know that. That was kind of why I wanted to do it - because I didn't see any freaks in politics like me.
